Today I have some late 1890's advertisment cards for you. I selected ones in soft creamy pastel colors. Light teal blue paired with pink is a favorite combination. Please enjoy them for your personal use and enjoyment.

A temporary lack of motivation and inspiration has gotten the best of me. Today I came to check out my blog. Seeing who has paid a visit, became a follower and how they were directed to bumble button. Kinda routine stuff.

Then that Internet thing happened.

One thing led to another and I am back in creativity land! On pintrest I found some of my images pinned and repinned! How inspiring to be that first domino. Maybe there was a warm thought, a little grin, maybe even a little excitement out there because of the images in my posts. Of course I am not the first domino. It all starts with that first dab of paint long ago.

Today I have lots of butterflies. They are from an old book for identifying butterflies and moths. Print and use in all your paper creations. Much Love to you all, Louise

About Me

The Legacy is a small, but very full thrift store. Everything has been donated and the proceeds go to the Sebastopol Senior Center. The most wonderful thing is what they specialize in; sewing, quilting, fabric, crafty stuff, yarn, books, scrapbooking, stamping, embroidery, ribbon and trim etc. It’s like a Jo-Ann’s or Michaels’ thrift store. They also have vintage lace and linens. This little shop has been my soft place to fall. It’s magical. Now onto the buttons… My last name, Bouton, is French for button. Ironically I am now in charge of the button donations at the Legacy and I LOVE it. Wanting to make a pretty button card to sew the loose buttons on led me to the discovery of clip art. Luckily I found "JustSomethingIMade" and "the Graphics Fairy". Kindred spirits! Then I realized I had 1000’s of similar images, dating to the 1700’s. Inspired, I created a blog to share all this ephemera with you creative ones. All because of buttons! And that is how Bumble Button came to exist.
